Venezuela: at least four dead and hundreds injured in border standoff: Three aid trucks of set on fire


At least four people have been killed and hundreds injured in a wave of violence that convulsed Venezuela’s border regions on Saturday, as opposition activists tried to defy a government ban and bring food and medical supplies into the country.

After the failed attempt to breach government blockades, opposition leader Juan Guaidó declared the fight would continue, and said “we must keep all our options open for the liberation of our homeland”.

He will head to Bogotá for a meeting on Monday with US vice-president Mike Pence, and other regional leaders in the Lima Group.

    That's not your country monkey face, your's is in Washington. The so called humanitarian aid is plain ol' blackmail. Timing is
    everything. Russia and China have been sending in supplies which
    has been accepted.

  3. The estimates of Venezuela's oil back in 2016. My, how they
    alter the numbers when it suits them:
    The Middle East states have oil reserves estimated in excess of 850 billion barrels. The USA, Canada, Mexico, Venezuela, Ecuador and the Argentine have only an 80 billion barrel reserve between them. The USA has only 36 billion barrels of oil reserves.
    Was not recently, Venezuela's oil estimated in the trillions?
